Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Ovation B-2805FC supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an Ovation B-2805FC (the master) to control one or more Ovation B-
2805FC products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One Ovation B-2805FC becomes the master
when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The
DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.
• The
section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the master and slaves.
• If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, or the
DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX
Primer from the Chauvet website:
